please help...
A few weeks ago I used the ER2003_edit program and created my own extended ROM, which installed fine.
Now the official O2 rom update is out it complains that the unit is not the right one and won't install
I cannot get the original O2 extended ROM in there, all the upgrade software complains about it being the wrong unit/county etc... how do I fix this??
I think the orginal rom is the second file on the O2 site called "Launch Rom". The original O2 extended rom files are on this forum somewhere, just search for "extended rom"
I already have the original extended rom files - they come with the new rom upgrade the file called MS_.nbf.
The problem is I cannot get the rom file loaded into the XDA, the upgrade software just complains about the unit being the wrong version or something and then exits

All I wanted to do was write to the write protected extended rom and that’s where my problems started!!!
I followed the procudure in the
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=6470 forum
I down loaded a file from
http://www.c1au.com/iMatePDAROMS/ruu15283.zip
when unzipped it produced a file Ruu15283wwe_cdl which I ran.......(ok I know that it was a mistake.. yes I know I have made the classic newbie mistake)
It would appear to be an I-Mate updater and has updated my O2 Xda2 to an I-Mate. With the following
R 1.06.01
G 1337.16
D 1.52.00wwe
Now part of the reason I was able to install the new Radio Stack, New OS? and New Extended rom was because it was all in an .exe file which automatically did it.
What I would like to do now is return to the original O2 set up and forget trying to write to the extended rom.
I am a newbie and I have been silly, please can someone help me?
It seems that I can change the extended rom, which I have now back to my original Rom, which I made a back up of.
However the phone part doesn’t seem to be working....hum, I can install the down loaded (from this website) O2 version now and try that.
or I can role back to the imate software now as far as I knew the 2 parts of the phone were unconnected, so in theory what I have done should have effected the phone? Is this correct?
Sorted Yeah
Am trying to install xplore 1.1 on my G4 xda mini s.
The problem I seem to be having is getting the CID info and ROM info from Shelltools, it just says n/a for both.
I have copied and installed the cabs cert SPCS and enablerapi onto my device and installed them to main memory. Rebooted my device but I still get the n/a info showing.
All I get after installing xplore is a white screen. I then went back to the love rom and then back to my stock xda rom from the o2 site and tried to install xplore again with the same results.
It was saying that my stock o2 rom was a custom rom ??
I am now back on the love rom and get this info from shelltool.
This ROM includes:
9b000000 00a00000 d451b626 Extension Rom
80040000 03900000 7ce45b95 OS
92000000 00030000 07da0e96 Splash Screen
9d000000 00010000 5ce2e035 htc logo
blversion : crossbow
device : wizard
language : wwe
Brand : HTC
CID : n/a
ROM : n/a
IPL 2.21.0001
SPL 2.21.001
GSM 02.25.11
OS 2.26.10.2
Im doing something incredibly dumb arnt I ? I really have read mounds of information but cant find my solution. Can I flash from the love rom ? Do I have to put a certain stock rom on ? I just used the latest one from the O2 site.
Any help would be most gratefully received.
I just want WM6 !
maybe you have to have your phone CID unlocked. i had problems with the Mun rom and only after a few trys it worked (i went back to the love rom a couple times). look around there is another method to flash a rom into a cid locked phone.
hope this helps. best regards.

But using shelltools when getting the rom info it says CID n/a ROM n/a. At that stage the rom you are using hasnt even come into it then has it ?
I thought shelltools worked with G4 CID locked ? Im sure others with MINI S using the standard O2 rom must have done it, which says to me that I must be doing something simple wrong ??
Anyone ?
i dont recall ever seeing any info in those boxes. This is just from my personal experience. If i flash again soon i'll let edit this post and let you know.
All I know is it wont flash to Xplore 1.1 from the Stock O2 rom on their website. In some screen grabs on one of the guides it has information in those two boxes.
I have run both the cab files required on my phone and done a soft reset afterwards.
I will try to flash from the love rom tonight, but I have a feeling it isnt going to work.
Anyone any experience of this particular problem or have an idea of whats going on ?
Just tried going from love rom to Farria and no joy.
Incidently I have just restored to the stock O2 rom again yet in Shelltool it shows up as BLversion : Crossbow ???? Surely thats not right ?
Manged to go from stock rom to Farrias rom ok. Then went from that to Xplore, but there were double entries in the system folder.
So then went back to stock rom and then to xplore and it worked.
All I could suggest to people having similar trouble, it keep trying. First two attempts I couldnt go from stock to Xplore.
Hi,
I am trying to Update the ROM . I have copied the RUU_signed.nbh file to ROMUpdateUtility folder and starting my gene in Boot loader mode. When I run the ROM Update Utility , the utility is not showing the current Image version and after clicking on Update it shows the To Image version as 1.0.0.0.
Have I missed anything?
The version of SPL is 1.07.Oref
This is the problem in the ROMs and not in RUU
no need to worry
Hi,
You are right. I have downloaded another ROM. It worked fine. Can I install any contact manger and clock additionally to the exisiting programs?

I dont know the name of the rom. i have downloaded from here a couple of things.I was just trying to see how it works.Wud I be able to know what is the ROM I have on my Gene currently?Its with WM6.5.
Hi,
I have installed and checked almost all the WM 6.5 roms . For the Rom, the description says 15MB of free program memory after sometime. But for me, with any ROM after using for a while, shows program memory as 3-5MB only. Why is it so?
I want a ROM which has a memory advantage. Please suggest.
Now I have WM6.5.Can I flash with WM6.1 ROM now?

Hi I'm a nubie,
Could anyone tell me I added my 1st rom over the weekend which was succesful apart from the fact my orientation on the screen is not working.
I have been told to try a few more roms to see if this is the phone or the ROM (My feeling is that its the ROM) as it was working fine beforehand.
Can somebody tell me if I need to delete the old ROM 1st prior to installing the new modded ROM?
Also if I went back to my original 3uk factory ROM would I need to go through the Gold Card all over again?
Thanks for your help
Regards
Ray
not directly rom dev related, therefore moved to q&a
next time pls search first for solutions and only then post possibly rom related problems (orientation issue sounds like one) in the specific rom thread
best
you didn't even tell us what rom you are using, and yet you want a solution for your problem.
and what do you mean by "delete old rom", you cannot delete it once flashed to your phone.
Excuse me but I'm only new to this so my apologies. My details are as below.
Firmware is shown as 1.5 on my phone and the ROM I downgraded to was build number HTC 2.73.405.5, as I had to download my firmware I was told before I could up upload any ROMS which has proved succesful.
With regards to deleting my old ROM I presumed when I copied that over to my SD card it would stil be on my SD card when i uploaded a new one?
Regards Ray
Sorry, I also meant to ask do I complete the wipe option every time I upload a new ROM?
So AFTER you downgraded your ROM, you then installed a custom ROM yeah??? Or no?
What was the last one you "uploaded"?
Yes it is best to do a full wipe when switching ROMs. Sometimes when updating to a newer version of the same ROM it is not necessary to do a wipe but it will say in the notes of that ROM.
.... And you will only need your goldcard again if you install a ROM using one of the official RUU .exe files.
But if you want to go back to a branded 3uk ROM I'd suggest using the pre-rooted one from Modaco's Stock ROMs + radios in update.zip format for GSM Hero,.. No need for your goldcard then, and keeps the custom recovery console on so you can switch and change your ROMs.
Yes, I did put aHreo onto my phone but it wasnt working properly so I done a restore when I restarted my phone pressing home and menu using the installed software which in turn put it back to my downgraded HTC ROM version Build 2.73.405.5 (Hopefully I havent gone back to an official RUU as you describe). If so how would I know this? would it be when I try to update another unofficial ROM?
As it now has me worried !!!

Hi guys I have a HD2 (obviously says you's) that is locked to only installing Vodafone roms. Im stuck on rom 1.72 as Vodafone havent released any newer ones nor are they intending too!
I wanted to install hspl and install the newest htc stock rom. 3.03?
But I am aware that there is no hspl available that will allow you to do this.
So my question is, what is the newest Rom I can install that HSPL can do and where would I get it?
Thank you for your help
Mark
You can only install a stock Rom from your device.
This means if you have a branded device; you can only install stock rom this branded device.
BUT;
You have two solutions:
- Using a custom rom.
- Using the GoldCard solution/technique. in this case you can install stock rom 3.14
i'd suggest going for a custom ROM...the possibilities are endless, check out the ROM Dev. forum and pick the one that suits u best.
Hi thanks for your help. I'm trying the goldcard version now but need a little help please. When it says
1. Download your 3.14 Stock ROM from HTC, Links you will find here:XDA 623283
2. Extract your Stock ROM (RUU_Leo_S_HTC_XXX_3.14.XXX_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.1 5 .50.14_LEO_S_Ship.exe)
3. Copy RUU_signed.nbh to your Goldcard and rename it to LEOIMG.nbh
(Use the “Explore” Feature of ActiveSync / MobileDeviceCenter)
What escatly does it mean? I have downloaded the rom which has a the name
"_HTCHD2_RUU_Leo_S_HTC_WWE_3.14.405.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship"
What do I do to this now to extract it? When I double click on it it just opens the programme. Could someone help me please.
Thank you
Its ok I worked out how to extract the file thanks. Hopefully it works now
Its still not working.
When I turn the phone off after following all the steps and hold volume down and press power button the bootloader screen laods but it doesnt load the LEOIMG.nbh.
At the bottom it just says 'Serial'.
What am I doing wrong? I have followed all the instructions
Just a morning Bump
You most probably must Format your SD Card,but from my bitter experiance I would consider the steps very carefully before flashing from an SD Card,I was lucky to bring my HD2 back to life after a day of bicking it.
I myself installed the HSPL tried out many custom ROMS but so far couldnt find one without a bug,one thing I noticed common with all of them:my WIFI suffered badly that was my main reason to go back to the stock ROM,which has good WIFI reception now as my laptop!!.
Even the new Stock 3.14 reception was not up to my current one.
This is just my experiance.
